Temple in Top 10
In the Kansas City Star’s April 6 edition of Star Magazine, the Community of
Christ Temple and Auditorium were named in the article, “Built to Thrill.”
Reporter Elaine Garrison asked readers which Kansas City building is your
favorite and highlighted the top ten choices.
Joining the likes of landmarks like the KC Power and Light building, Liberty
Memorial, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Temple came in at number
nine.
When asked why he admires the Temple, volunteer Lloyd Slaght is quoted in the
caption saying, “Its dedication to peace; its striking architecture, with the
beautiful, inspirational spiral; and its beautiful-sounding organ.”
The full article is posted on the board in the Temple break room.
Bring Your Child to Work
Take Your Child to Work Day is Thursday, April 24. While we are not planning
a formal program this year, you are welcome to bring your child for part or all
of the day. Please let your team lead know that you will be sharing with your
child at work this day.
For some children, it’s a treat to visit the Children’s Peace Pavilion while
they’re here. Please remember that children must be supervised while they are
visiting the Pavilion and that most children can complete the activities in
about 1 to 1½ hours.
It is a special experience to share with a child what their parents do all
day at work. If you have any questions, please contact your enrichment group
leader.
Flexible Schedules
The opportunity to work four 10-hour days is available for headquarters staff
assistants again this summer from June 2-August 31. Coordination of this
schedule needs to be arranged and approved by your team leader. For full details
– see the staff manual policy #601.
E-mail Distribution Lists
A new headquarters distribution list in Outlook is called “IHQ Users” This
new group appears in the Outlook Global Address List (GAL) and combines both
“IHQ Independence” and “IHQ non-Independence.
The new “IHQ Users” will replace the “HQ Users” list. The old “HQ Users” list
will remain until April 30 to allow time to replace it in any personal
distribution list you may have created
